"This is just an illusion!" Xu Rui shook his head and said calmly, "The Japanese army didn't even lose the outer outposts, or they refused to give up. This just shows that the Japanese army is not as strong as we thought! If I didn't judge If wrong, this is just Ishihara Wanji trying his best to bluff."
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "What Ishihara Wan'er did was like a weak monkey trying to show his strength in front of the tiger, so he inhaled desperately and puffed up his chest to tell the tiger that I am not weaker than you, but The cost of doing this is very high, as it consumes the Japanese army’s extremely precious vitality!”
"Monkey?" Mei Jiuling next to him continued, "Then he is also a stubborn monkey."
"Sometimes, being too stubborn may not be a good thing." He Shuya said lightly, "If you blindly advocate the spiritual victory method and blindly pursue the overwhelming momentum of your opponent, even if you win in the end, it will inevitably lead to another Russo-Japanese War. , It’s just a miserable victory, even if we win in the end, it will exhaust all the national power of little Japan!”
Xu Rui said: "So Ishihara Kanji's approach is not advisable. His wisest approach should actually be to give up the peripheral outposts appropriately, while strengthening the counter-attack in the direction of the situation and maintaining the flexibility of the entire defensive formation. This can not only Greatly reducing the consumption of troops will also greatly increase the consumption of the Soviet army."
Du Junjie said: "Commander, do you think the Soviet army or the Japanese will win in the end?"
Xu Rui said: "The Far East in spring is full of swamps and mud. This special terrain determines that the defenders must have an advantage over the attackers. The Soviet Far East Army has more than one million troops in the air, but it is limited to the width of the battlefield and can be invested each time. The maximum number of attacking troops is 30,000 to 50,000."
He Shuya said: "Furthermore, due to difficulties in logistical supplies, although the Soviet army has more than one million people, the intensity of its attack is not even as strong as before. Therefore, it is almost impossible for the Soviet army to capture Chita. At least, in Longmei Before your armored group reaches Nerchinsk, the Soviet army will never be able to capture Chita."
Nerchinsk is Nerchinsk, the location of the frontline headquarters of the Soviet Eastern Group.
Du Junjie said: "In other words, the Soviet army is bound to lose in the Far East Battle!"
"This is an undoubted result!" Xu Rui said, "In fact, as early as last year, when Ishihara Wanji brazenly went north to provoke an all-out war between Japan and the Soviet Union and occupied Chita, the outcome of the Far East Battle was actually doomed! Zhukov In fact, he is considered an excellent commander, but I’m afraid it won’t change the final result.”
"But there are not all ways to solve the dilemma." At this time, He Shuya suddenly said unexpectedly, "Of course, it may be difficult for the Soviet army to rely on its own strength alone, and external forces may need to intervene."
After finishing speaking, He Shuya looked up at Xu Rui with a look of inquiry in his eyes.
Xu Rui shook his head imperceptibly, signaling He Shuya not to tell the whole story.
Seeing He Shuya suddenly stop talking, Du Junjie said: "Bookworm, you should continue talking, don't just say half a sentence."
"Stop talking about it." He Shuya shook his head and laughed at himself, "I suddenly realized that my thinking was not mature enough, so I didn't say it out loud to make people laugh, haha."
"This guy." Du Junjie was helpless.
At this time, Zhuoligetu hurriedly walked into the war room and reported to Xu Rui: "Captain, we just received an urgent call from the political commissar. A small group of Japs appeared near Laiyuan and Lingqiu counties, causing trouble to the civilian team transporting supplies." Huge casualties.”
"Laiyuan, Lingqiu? A small group of Japanese?" Xu Rui's brows instantly knitted together. This was unusual.
Du Junjie hummed lightly, and then said: "The number of Japs is not large. According to the political commissar, they are only the size of an infantry brigade. But with the cooperation of the local stubborn troops and their elusive presence, the threat is still very great."
"Recalcitrant troops?!" Xu Rui's face immediately darkened. The so-called recalcitrant troops were actually the Jinsui Army and the remnants of the Central Army that were stranded on various battlefields behind enemy lines. Most of these troops were dispersed during the frontal resistance battle. He lost contact, but later regained contact with the Nationalist Government and stayed on the battlefield behind enemy lines.
In recent times, the relationship between the stubborn army and the Eighth Route Army has deteriorated sharply.
Xu Rui had good reason to suspect that they had received instructions from the National Government.
Let me make a digression here. Little Japan initially expected that the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army would interfere with the logistics of the Chahar Independent Regiment, but it turned out that this was just an extravagant hope. At such a critical moment, not to mention Yan Xishan, even Commissar Chiang Kai-shek The commander did not dare to give orders openly. This was not because he did not want to, but because he did not dare to do such a dirty act that would offend both humans and gods.
However, there are still many stubborn troops stranded on the battlefield behind enemy lines who spontaneously help the enemy.
Xu Rui will not be polite to these stubborn traitors who are willing to be little Japanese lackeys!
At that moment Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "Immediately send a telegram to the head of the headquarters and ask the brother troops in various base areas along the way to attack these Japanese and stubborn soldiers. *** said, I will not attack others unless they attack me, but now they are the first to attack them." Come and mess with me, then we don’t have to be polite to him anymore and we will definitely eat them!”
Du Junjie said: "The political commissar has already asked the head of the headquarters for instructions."
Xu Rui added: "In addition, let the first battalion be more vigilant. I very much suspect that the enemy may not be a small force, but most likely a large force. The attack on Laiyuan and Lingqiu is just to spread suspicion in the old formation. Their goal is very Maybe it’s still Zijingguan! Because only by recapturing Zijingguan and blocking Puyin Trail can we stop the transport team!”
"Yes!" Zhuoligetu agreed, then turned around and hurried away.
Xu Rui turned to Digua again and asked: "Digua, did the Langya Brigade find anything?"
After receiving Xu Rui's order, the Langya Brigade immediately diverted to the Taihang Mountains and then launched a search along Puyin Trail. However, after three days of searching, no trace of the Japanese special forces was found!
"Not yet." Digua shook his head and said, "Nothing has been found!"
Xu Rui frowned and said in a deep voice: "Telegram the veteran to expand the search scope!"
"Yes!" Digua agreed and followed Zhuoligetu into the communications office next door.
Xu Rui's eyes returned to the sand table, but what He Shuya just said came to mind uncontrollably. It was impossible for the Soviet army alone to save the situation. However, looking at the entire Far East battlefield at this moment, the only one with the ability The only ones who intervened and changed the situation were the armored troops of the Chahar Independent Regiment!
However, this requires the Chahar Independent Regiment to make a very big sacrifice, and Xu Rui is unwilling!
No matter what, the Far East Battle was a war between Japan and the Soviet Union. Unless the outcome of the war would seriously threaten China, Xu Rui would never be willing for the Chahar Independent Regiment to make this sacrifice! Shaking his head, Xu Rui expelled this thought from his mind, then turned and walked to the simulated sand table of the Peking battlefield nearby.
…
In the Taihang Mountains, the Langya Brigade is searching and moving forward in the Grand Canyon.
Shi Xiaoqian carried the radio on his back and quickly caught up with Leng Tiefeng. He gasped and said, "The leader asked us to expand the search scope!"
"Got it." Leng Tiefeng hummed, waving his hands to signal the squadron leaders including the Mountain Leopard, Han Feng, Decepticon, and Soldier to come to him, and then asked them to lead their respective teams and disperse. Then, Leng Tiefeng scattered the remaining teams around him in small groups towards both sides of the canyon.
In the end, only Shi Xiaoqian, Wu Han, and Mo Zichen were left around Leng Tiefeng.
After searching for about two kilometers along the canyon, Leng Tiefeng's expression suddenly moved slightly. There was someone!
Using sign language, Wu Han, Mo Zichen and Shi Xiaoqian, who was carrying a radio on their backs, quickly hid themselves.
Leng Tiefeng himself also jumped up lightly, climbed onto the branches of a big tree that grew sideways, swung in the air and climbed onto the branches, and then disappeared into the dense branches and leaves in a flash. Leng Tiefeng's camouflage uniform has completely blended in with the surrounding environment, and he can't even notice it when he walks under the tree.
After a moment, a thin figure appeared from the mountain road ahead.
Seeing that there was only one person, and he was a thin child, Leng Tiefeng couldn't help but froze on the spot.
While Leng Tiefeng was stunned, the child gradually came closer. Only when he got closer did Leng Tiefeng suddenly realize that the child was carrying a wooden crate on his back that was in no way commensurate with his size. Looking again The wooden crates clearly had numbers on them, and they were military supplies for the Chahar Independent Regiment! This thin kid is actually a civilian husband of the transportation team!
At that moment, Leng Tiefeng climbed down from the tree and hurried up to meet him, ready to reach out and take the wooden crate from the child's back.
However, the child acted as if he had not seen Leng Tiefeng and walked straight over with his head lowered and his waist bent.
Leng Tiefeng's outstretched hand paused, and then he heard the child struggling to move forward while murmuring in his mouth, "Can't fall, can't fall, I can't fall..." Leng Tiefeng Feng lowered his head and looked at the ground again, but there were two rows of eye-catching dark red footprints on it, bloody footprints!
Leng Tiefeng has always been strong, but at this moment, tears burst out of his eyes!
This is just a child, only a child in his early ten years, and he is still so thin!
Letting tears hang on his cheeks, Leng Tiefeng quickly caught up with the child and said with a choked voice: "Child, please give me the supplies on your back quickly, and I will help you carry it."
However, the child still turned a deaf ear, still muttering in his mouth, taking bloody steps step by step, moving forward slowly with laborious but firm steps, the heavy wooden crate had completely bent his thin shoulders and back, and the blood, It had already soaked into his feet, but there was never a moment of hesitation or stagnation under his feet.
"Can't fall, can't fall, Gou Sheng, you can't fall!" The child murmured, sweating profusely, but still moving forward firmly and strenuously step by step, with the sun shining behind him. The golden afterglow stretched his figure very long on the mountain road. At this moment, Gou Sheng's figure was so tall and majestic!
